he 68 Convertible sports a 192-square-foot cockpit that includes a mezzanine deck for superior seating and amenities. The mezzanine houses a 10-cubic-foot bait freezer, insulated storage tubs, tackle drawers, insulated drink storage and more. The mezzanine is designed in modular fashion, which allows each owner to customize the location of various components such as freezer, ice box or optional baitwell. Two 65-inch fish boxes are positioned in the cockpit sole, and a transom fish box is also available. Below the cockpit deck is a large, open lazarette accessible through the engine room hatch. The compartment provides an excellent location for equipment and gear, while an aft isolation bulkhead with door allows easy inspection of steering components. The engine room contains no space-
stealing air boxes on the hull sides or air-induction vents on the exterior, as the 68 features a forced ventilation system that draws air from beneath the cockpit coaming. h e 68 Convertibl e c oc kp it t h at inc lu superior seating an d a m a10 - cubic - footbaitfre >
The standard open flybridge
arrangement offers wrap-around seating forward of the console along with a freezer and insulated chill box. The extended overhang is topped with two Murray Products helm chairs, though there is room (and a backing plate) for an optional third chair. A rear-facing jump seat provides quick access to the cockpit ladder. Hatteras’ touch-screen systems monitor is standard on the power-actuated electronics console, while the pod-style helm station includes single-lever controls with standard emergency backup controls. “If you want freedom to roam, snorkel and fish in pristine waters with all your luxury underfoot, take a look at the Hatteras 68 Convertible.” – Marlin
